Yes, thanks for sharing that TM.  Sorry for requiring the older binary, I think I still have the sources somewhere if anyone wants to build it themselves.

As soon as .Net Framework 4 hits beta 2 I will be re-examining the current builds of AvalonEdit (which require 4).  I stopped work on code completion because of some limitations (perceived/real yet to be determined).

Another option would be Actipro SyntaxEditor, but it doesn't come cheap and is still in beta.

Memory/SetAddresses.cs is the code file which my other app generates for me.  i've now merged both apps.  i have some strange organization of code because the project has morphed and changed so much.  i'm still learning how to plan things before doing =D

p.s. check out my Razor loader, i'm quite proud of it!

by original CD i meant the original driver CD, but if it can send/recv pings okay then both pieces of hardware are functioning correctly.

when you connect to your modem with a web browser does it say the connection is up? status lights are normal on the modem?

what does your physical setup look like? is it modem -> router -> pc ? or just modem -> pc?  did you already try turning off the router/modem for a few minutes and turning them back on? do it twice just to be sure.
after that open a command prompt and try to ping the LAN ip of your router, i.e. ping 192.168.1.1 or whatever you've set.
to confirm it's a software issue you could boot a live linux cd and see if you get net access.

i've personally found that sometimes windows update will install a driver it thinks is compatible, and device manager will show the device as functioning, even when it will not fully support the device.  i've experienced this with a few different kinds of hardware actually.  so if you confirm it's a software issue i'd look at your network card driver and try the one off your original CD.  only go to the manufacturer's website if you have to.  also note that sometimes windows will be very persistent in wanting to use a certain driver and you may have to delete the old one manually.

Sweet! Thanks for the help!
